Sonatrach, Algeria's national energy company, has released its 2025 annual report, highlighting the company's financial and operational performance. The report aims to provide transparency and reassure international oil and gas markets of Sonatrach's financial health, production capabilities, and investment strategy. The report also demonstrates Sonatrach's ability to honor its contractual commitments despite global price volatility and geopolitical crises. According to the report, Sonatrach's global revenue for 2025 stood at 5,748 billion Algerian dinars, a 12% decrease from 2024.
Sonatrach's export revenue for 2025 was $40 billion, down 11% from $45 billion in 2024. The company's consolidated revenue for 2025 was 7,382 billion Algerian dinars, a 15% decrease from 2024. The decline in revenue is attributed to several factors, including a 15% decrease in the average price of crude oil to $69 per barrel in 2025, a 3% decrease in hydrocarbon export volumes, and a 2% depreciation of the Algerian dinar against the US dollar.
Despite the decline in revenue, Sonatrach achieved a net profit of 603 billion Algerian dinars and maintained a high level of investment, demonstrating its resilience. The company's investment strategy for 2025 focused on four main areas: upstream oil and gas, hydrocarbon transformation, hydrocarbon marketing, and energy transition. Sonatrach's total investment in 2025 reached 1,078 billion Algerian dinars, up 29% from 2024, with 69% allocated to exploration and production.
Sonatrach's investment efforts led to 17 new hydrocarbon discoveries in 2025, all made through in-house efforts. The company also modernized and secured its infrastructure, diversified its production, and reduced gas flaring in its fields. Additionally, Sonatrach signed several memoranda of understanding with foreign firms to develop partnerships, including agreements for green hydrogen development.
The company's revenue breakdown for 2025 showed that 71% of its consolidated revenue came from its parent company, Sonatrach. The company's petroleum tax payments decreased to 3,625 billion Algerian dinars in 2025, down from 3,872 billion Algerian dinars in 2024. Sonatrach's sales on the domestic market increased by 6%, but prices are regulated and less lucrative than export sales.
Sonatrach's annual report highlights the company's transparency, operational solidity, and adaptability in a challenging international context. The report demonstrates Sonatrach's commitment to its stakeholders, including international partners, and showcases its efforts to maintain a strong financial position and invest in its operations.
According to economist Brahim Guendouzi, Sonatrach's 2025 annual report provides valuable insights into the company's performance and strategy.
